Fire rated roller shutters protect escape routes and openings in malls, car parks, and commercial buildings. Once installed, you should run the fire rated shutter acceptance checks below before signing off the job. RHIDOOR lists the points our installers verify on every unit.
Fire Rated Roller Shutter Test Standards
The shutter goes through a fire-door heating test by a recognized testing body. If it meets every check below, it earns the top fire-resistance duration class. Meeting only some checks places it in the lower class.
- No harmful deformation, fall-off, or damage from the fire test.
- No flame passes through the solid unheated face, and no harmful cracks or holes appear.
- In the heating test, no part of the sample bows or deflects more than half the leaf thickness.
- In the heating test, no burning flame shows on the unheated face.
- The highest temperature on the unheated face stays under 960°C.
Appearance and Frame Inspection
Start with the paperwork and the frame. Observe and check the product certificate and the on-site acceptance record. Confirm the frame is firmly installed. Check that the position and opening direction match the design. Verify the count, position, embed, and connection of the embedded iron parts against the design.
Basic Operation Check
Check the basic items next. A passing unit closes tight, opens and closes freely, shows no deformation or warp, seals well on a soundproof model, and auto-closes quickly. A good unit also shows no block, no rebound, and looks clean. On a fire model, the auto-close should be quick and positive.
Accessory Inspection
Finish with the accessories. A passing set is complete, firmly installed, in the correct position, and opens and closes smoothly for its use. A good set is also straight, fits the use, and looks right.
These checks cover the backbone of fire rated shutter acceptance. A fire rated roller shutter only protects people if it was fitted and verified correctly.
